On the new T-8 model, Tormek has integrated the previous mounted sleeves for the Universal Support into the fully cast housing. That guarantees minimal play for the Universal Support; an innovation which improves the control of the sharpening and increases the accuracy of the final results.
With an updated design and several upgraded details, the T-8 gives you the best conditions possible for a successful sharpening with top results.
The Advanced Water Trough has been further improved with a screw lift for an easier fitting and a magnetic scraper for efficient cleansing.
For long tools that drip water over the edge of the lip (like chef's knives and planer blades), you can add the water chute. Set the widest edge of the chute onto the tab in the middle of the lip of the trough and the water chute will direct the water back into the trough from even the longest tools.
The removable scraper incorporates a strong magnet, which attracts the steel particles ground from the tools being sharpened. This keeps your stone clean and cutting more freely. These small steel particles would otherwise be pressed into the stone surface and can affect the sharpening. When you clean the water trough, you'll find that most of the steel will be located on the magnet. When you remove the scraper, the magnet will release the steel particles and you can easily clean the trough.

With the sleeves for the Universal Support now being cast in the zinc top, together with the new Tormek stadium shaped design of the holes (patent pending) – the precision have been improved by 300 % compared to T-3.		The handle makes the machine easy to move and position. So you are not tempted to make the mistake and try to lift the machine with the Universal Support!
Vital parts like the motor and the main shaft are integrated with the zinc cast top.
The machine plate is now made of metal, which makes it a convenient place to store the Tormek AngleMaster (which has magnetic feet).

In short, how does the T-4 differ from the T-3?

• Precision improved by over 300%

  This will improve your control of the sharpening – and the precision of your results.

• Handle for easy movement

  Makes the machine easy to place and put away.

• Machine plate in metal

  Which makes it a convenient place to store the Tormek AngleMaster (which has magnetic feet). Scale for stone diameter.

• Jig for straight edges not included

  Now you are able to configure your Tormek right from the start with the jigs that fit your sharpening needs. For example if you only sharpen knives you will not have to pay for something you will not use.

• Stone Grader included (because you need it)

  Regardless of what tool you will sharpen you will need it, so we decided to include it from the start. Make sure to use it and you will always have a fresh cutting stone. Also, with the Stone Grader you get two different cutting actions (fast/fine) out of your grindstone!

• How does the T-4 precision compare to the larger T-7 machine?

  Thanks to the patented zinc cast machine head, we can achieve the same precision as with T-7, which is made with 3 mm steel housing with precision sleeves for the Universal Support.
